Ferry Crashes in NYC

Dozens were hurt aboard the Andrew J. Barberi ferry in New York City this morning (Saturday, May 08, 2010) while approaching the St. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island. According to the city’s transportation commissioner, the ferry hit the cement pier because the throttle failed to engage preventing the crew from using the engines to slow down for landing. The Andrew J. Barberi was involved in a crash at the same pier that killed 11 people back in 2003.
